Atheism requires as much faith as religion? bearvspuma : The only problem with this rationalization is that ita s assuming all athiests are so because theya re intelligent in the ways of science and reasoning and all people that believe in a form of god are unintelligent.

<quoted text>I suggest you do some research, try with the Project for a New American Century, the architects for the Second Gulf War, which BTW Bebe was involved with.They came up with the idea of taking out Saddam way back in 1998. The plan was to take out Saddam, to the benefit of Israel then base a large U.S. military force there to dominate Middle Eastern politics. The membership list of PNAC looks like a who's who of the Bush Administration.BTW Saddam told the Bush I administration he planned to invade Kuwait, and when the response was that was an Arab affair which we wanted no part of, he went ahead and invaded. I'm sure he was surprised at our response. One wonders if the administration wanted him to invade.

Lots of reasons for the second gulf war, none of which would have transpired without the reson that started the first. Think tanks can think away forever, but had Saddam never invaded Kuwait there would have been a first or second gulf war.Saddam's attempt to instantiate oil trade in other than American dollars , was the straw that broke the camels back. But without his invasion of Kuwait and subsequent UN rulings on WMDs and his defiance to UN Inspectors , the whole game of cards falls apart.Saddam like Hitler caused the whole damn thing when he invaded Kuwait! Or in Hitlers case ...Poland.

Here how to tell if you are unhinged ....People who subscribe to conspiracy theories ....tend , to subscribe to a lot of them ...

First Hitler was a Christian, Catholic to be exact. There was a close connection between Nazi Germany and the Vatican. Many Nazi criminals escaped Europe with the help of the Vatican.

In trying to rid the world of Jews, Hitler thought he was doing the work of God. There are numerous quotes from Hitler himself that prove this.

Pol Pot was also raised a Catholic. His genocide was politically motivated, not religious. He didn't move everybody out of the cities for their religious beliefs. His motives were to transform the country into a radical communist agrarian society. It had nothing to do with religion or atheism.

The same is true of Stalin. His motives were political transformation of his country, the genocide he committed had nothing to do with religion, but more of where you lived. people of all faiths suffered. The reason Stalin got rid of religion was that he saw it as a threat to his rule. Stalin was a paranoid ruler. He didn't want the people to have any rallying points, organization etc. Poland serves as a perfect example. The Polish liberation movement from the USSR was centered on the Catholic Church and labor unions.

do us a favor, try reading a history book every now and then

You might have a case with Chairman Mao, as he saw Christianity as a western influence

<quoted text>And what about people who's significant other has died, and they move on to another person?In heaven, supposedly,**both** lovers will be there --- with whom to spend eternity? Both?That would be a 3-way........ the whole idea of "heave" (and hell too) is beyond idiotic.

Do not forget: if paradise exists then the possibility of those 72 virgins could be males!

Israel traditionally defines god as a male deity, who in the early stages had a wife.But his wife was ostracized into obscurity and the worship of Asherah was forgotten.Also the god of Israel and the god of Muslims are two different deities, this has become known through archeology , as archeology reveals all truths swept under the rug. These two different gods melded into the one god you know of today. But curiously your one god is actually threeand you think I'm confused? Yes I'm confused as to how you can by into it , lock stock and barrel ...... when it's all a pack of lies.

<quoted text>Tell me when did the USA became the new world Police?Every American soldier killed overseas; fighting on foreign soil for the military, since 1946, has died for political gain and power in the region ; NOT for American freedom.It is the poor soldiers who suffer this and the families of those brave young men and women whose young lives have been squandered, truncated and maimed.Korea? Cuba? Panama? Grenada? Vietnam? Bosnia-Herzegovina?Afghanistan? Iraq?For Our freedom? LMAO!Walter Reed Hospital is a disgrace. Is this the best we can offer our returning heroes? Of course not.Does your government really give a rats ass?PS: I guess you missed the public refusal to acknowledge Vietnam? Not the best way to treat "heroes " returning from yet another illegal war.Shameful to say the least.

It's called responsibility ....if on a camping trip and a bear starts mauling a perfect stranger and you happen to packing heat ....are , you really going to sit this one out ..??

Hey , the bear is one of Gods creatures and it's got eat too ..America has the wherewithal and military capabilities to do things no other nation on Earth is capable of ...if , we lived in a different country I would wholeheartedly agree with you " none of our business " , but America.... I don't believe non-involvement is an option ...

<quoted text>you totally misunderstand the relationship. Atheism doesn't equal intelligence, its simply a matter of cause and effect.The higher your IQ, the more educated you are, the more likely you abandon ancient mythological beliefs/fairy tales.Religion helped mankind explain the unknown. The more we learn about the universe, nature and science, the less we need religion.

<quoted text>Yep.And the sad thing is this: these idiots who believe in religion?Are the ones the easiest to fool-- all the bought-and-paid-for politician has to do, to get the support of the religious, is to spout religious platitudes as loudly as is needed.And the stupid and gullible (religious) suck that up like it was chocolate pudding... and vote the bought-and-paid-for back into office again and again.... meh.

"You don't talk about the spherical earth with NASA and then say let's give equal time to the flat earthers."

When the Russians and Chinese suddenly become "responsible "what will be your statement then?

<quoted text>....Every child is exposed to some sort of religious foundation as a child ....are , you insinuating that that foundation can never be rejected ...?Hitler never has written or mentioned ' Christ '....that , he might mention God , big whup politicians lie to get what they want .Mao and Stalin and Pot ....were Marxists , do Marxists accept the existence of a Creator ..

Saddam's attempt to instantiate oil trade in other than American dollars , was the straw that broke the camels back..

..Idiocy....only stupid people believe this ...

What medium would Saddam use ..??...The Euro , Europe is much too unstable no one would use it ....the Yuan , as if the Chinese would ever allow their currency to be put on the worlds market , they would lose total control of its price ...

Saddam a tin pot dictator ...was all bluster , and you know it . There's no way he could made the smallest dent in the way the world trades in petrodollars ..

The Gulf War began when Iraq moved its armor towards the Saudi oil fields ...and , for no other reason ...

Out of context, you can make that mean whatever you want. That's your MO, Ben.

Here it is IN context:

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Paul was illustrating growth and maturity towards Jesus, not away from Him.
